About Harlow

Harlow is a former Mark One New Town and local government district in the west of Essex, England. Situated on the border with Hertfordshire, it occupies a large area of land on the south bank of the upper Stort Valley, which has been made navigable through other towns and features a canal section near its watermill. Old Harlow is a village-size suburb founded by the early medieval age and most of its high street buildings are early Victorian and residential, mostly protected by one of the Conservation Areas in the district. In Old Harlow is a field named Harlowbury, a de-settled monastic area which has the remains of a chapel, a scheduled ancient monument.

The M11 motorway passes through the east of the district, entirely to the east of the town. Harlow has its own commercial. and leisure economy. It is also an outer part of the London commuter belt and employment centre of the M11 corridor which includes Cambridge and London Stansted to the north. At the time of the 2011 Census, Harlow’s population was recorded at 81,944 and its district had the third-highest proportion of social housing in England, 26.9%,[citation needed] a legacy of the 1947 commitment to re-house blitzed London families after World War II and provide a percentage of homes for other needy families who cannot afford market rents.

About the Essex

Essex is a county in England immediately north-east of London. It borders the counties of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire to the north, Hertfordshire to the west, Kent across the estuary of the River Thames to the south and London to the south-west. The county town is Chelmsford, which is the only city in the county.

Second Homes

If you or your husband / wife or any other party to this transaction own any other properties, you might have to pay a higher rate of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT).

Property owners purchasing an additional property to their main residence in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will be affected by the rise in SDLT.
If you already own properties but plan to buy a permanent home to replace another, you are exempt from the paying the higher rate.

If you own two properties on the day of completion of the purchase of your second property but still legally own your first property and plan to sell, you are still obliged to pay the higher rate of SDLT.
A refund is available if you sell your former residence property within 36 months.

First Time Buyer

A first time buyer is defined as an individual or individuals who have never owned an interest in a residential property in the United Kingdom or anywhere else in the world and who intends to occupy the property as their main residence.

Property Tenure Type

There are two fundamentally different forms of legal ownership: freehold and leasehold.
If you own the freehold, it means that you own the building and the land it stands on outright.
With Leasehold, you own the lease from the freeholder (sometimes called the landlord) to use the home for a number of years.
